Procurement glossary

Set-aside (US)

A US contract reserved for a category of small or disadvantaged business (e.g. 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB).

In depth

Federal set-asides direct a share of spending to qualifying small businesses. Eligibility depends on certifications and status, and set-aside contracts are only open to those firms.
